A
Sodium chloride (NaCl)
B
Glucose (C6H12O6)
C
Water (H2O)
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the compounds listed in the problem: Sodium chloride (NaCl), Glucose (C6H12O6), Water (H2O), and Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Understand that the question is asking for the most common compound in the human body, which requires knowledge of human physiology and biochemistry.
Recall that the human body is composed of approximately 60% water by weight, making it the most abundant compound.
Consider the roles of the other compounds: Sodium chloride is important for nerve function and fluid balance, Glucose is a primary energy source, and Carbon dioxide is a waste product of metabolism.
Conclude that Water (H2O) is the most common compound in the human body due to its abundance and essential role in physiological processes.
